When
it comes to weight loss, diets, fitness and nutrition, you have to
remember that it won’t be an easy journey, especially at the
beginning, but it will be very well worth your time, for your long
term fitness and overall health.
You
must eat highly nutritious whole foods, watch carefully your
portion size, like half a sandwich every couple of hours, and
most importantly, you must move around, like walking
fast for half an hour 5 days per week, which happens to be the
easiest and best exercise for overall weight loss, especially if you
don’t like exercising.
The
more you move, the faster you’ll burn your body fat … if you
remember one thing, then just remember this: oxygen is the
number one fat burner, and the more you move, the more oxygen enters
your body, the more body fat you will burn … plain and simple!
I
limit myself to 3 exercise routines I love most, and you should too,
which are doing the trick for me and it will for you too, because the
more types of exercise you try to incorporate into your daily or 3
times per week routine, the less likely you're going to do them all,
and eventually you'll give them all up.
My
3 favorite exercises are the following:
a)
Power Walking … half an hour or more per day, 5 days a week.
Half an hour real fast walk is more than enough.
b)
Toe Raises … standing in place, raise your entire self on
your toes, as high up as you can, as fast as you can, for 1 minute
each day or 5 days per week. This will very much improve your
peripheral and overall body circulation. Peripheral circulation is
very important, especially if you sit behind a desk all day, and more
so when you get older, as the tiny veins in your extremities, tend to
narrow with age, especially if you suffer from diabetes.
Don't
forget, another benefit is stronger calf muscles … and don't get
scared after 1 minute of raises, if you can't feel your calves …
they'll feel very heavy, and you'll feel strange standing and moving,
but this goes away in about 5 minutes, or so.
c)
The Ski Walk … that's what I call this one … make
believe you're moving forward with your skies on, and of course,
each time you move, you have to raise your hand and move the stick
forward, one hand for each step, in order to advance.
So,
stand straight up, your feet about 6-8 inches apart, lower your body
forward, at about 45 degree angle, straighten your lower back, legs
straight as a board, and start swinging forwards and backwards, one
arm at a time, as high forward as you can, like above your head, and
as high up backwards as you can, with an 8 to 10 lb. dumbbell in
each hand.
Do
this while standing firmly in place, for about 30 to 50 times, or
until you get tired. Of course, tighten your abdominal muscles, as
you do this, as it will be easier for you to swing … either way,
the 6 pack does get a good workout here, and your entire body gets a
full strength workout, as well … the perfect body toning exercise
… a pleasant and simple one, too.
Bottom
line … the 3 overly simplistic, not time consuming exercises,
together with eating real foods and watching portion size, is all
you need to lose and keep your weight off forever … trust me, I
did it - I know it!
Good
luck, God Bless you and stay healthy …
